Old Salem

The kids had a day off of school towards the end of October so we decided to check out Old Salem Museums and Gardens in Winston-Salem. I wasn't sure what to expect but I loved it. (Salem was founded in 1766 by the Moravians.) The fall colors were at their peak and absolutely stunning. All the textures on the old buildings were gorgeous. We walked around the quaint, historic streets and popped into the bakery for some delicious treats. (We didn't buy a ticket to go into any of the buildings for tours. I'll save that for a time when I'm not on my own with the kids.) They have a fun heirloom puppet theater and the kids loved watching the puppet show about Johnny Appleseed.
